So I don't think this is actually new but a new photoshop of photos taken last year (with Kasie as the exception.) They're in the same clothes as last year's promo photo.
It is possible that they had the cast photo taken all together and then shopped in David and Diona for this year instead of David and Pauley last year.

Interesting that McGee, not Gibbs, is in the center of the pix.

That was my thought as well - but if David and Diana were photoshopped in then Mark is the center.

Both photos looked "Photoshopped" and retouched.

They’ve looked photoshopped for several years now.

I concur, they definitely look photoshopped

That's because these two photos are photoshopped. They stitched the cast photo together from the individual cast photos they did back in early season 15. Here's the link to the individual photos:
ncisrefugees.freeforums.net/post/4466/thread
ncisrefugees.freeforums.net/post/4467/thread
They didn't use those exact photos to stitch together the cast photo. They probably used a different photo from the individual photo session but you can see how easy it would have been to replace the white background with the cast photo background. For the season 15 cast photo, they had to photoshop it to some degree because David wasn't always on set due to his reduced schedule and Pauley's refusal to be on set at the same time as Mark. For the "season 16" photo, they stitched together a "new" photo without Duane and Pauley and added in Diona.
While it's not as authentic as a cast photo with everyone in it at the same time, with the varying cast schedules, it's a lot easier to photoshop a group together. And with the cast changes, photoshop allowed them to avoid the time and expense of taking new photos.

eventually with the use of CGI and advanced technology the cast won’t have to show up for their scenes... all they’ll have to do is take a couple of head shots, and VOILA, they’ll have everything they need to shoot the episode... actually, it’s already in the works...
it reminds me of something the late, great Marlon Brando said in his biography: he didn’t particularly like acting, but he liked the $$$ he made... he said if he could stay home and just have them send him a paycheck he’d be happy... if he ‘d lived in this day and age, he probably could have done just that!

I just had a thought this morning...
some of you have written that the cast photo has been photoshopped the last couple of years because of the difficulty in getting the 9 or 10 actors together at the same time...
which brought to mind the following 2019 Super Bowl commercial:
www.boston.com/culture/entertainment/2019/02/03/watch-40-nfl-ers-including-tom-brady-and-rob-gronkowski-in-an-nfl-super-bowl-commercial
they actually brought together those 40+ former and current NFL players to shoot that 2 minute spot! obviously they had to come from all over the country to film it, and according to another article I read they all did it for $00 (except for traveling expenses)... now that was a real scheduling trick, considering the how busy and spread out most of those guys are!
so, how really difficult should it be to get the cast of 9 or 10 together for one lousy day to take a current picture every season? just seems like a silly excuse to me - and lazy to boot...

IIRC the last one were done on a weekend (IIRC Emily and Sean stated that). They all have families and other projects, so it could be difficult to get them together on weekends (if they were all done on weekends, no idea). For S15 - DMcC commutes to LA from New York (and just for a cast photo I doubt he would make the trip), and Pauley Perette wouldn't want to be on set together with Mark Harmon.

so, set up the photo shoot to accommodate David Mc when he is in L.A....
and...
as for PP: couldn’t she suck it up for a few hours? she was certainly paid enough $$$ on that series to show up for a cast picture... it’s not like she was asked to stand right next to MH - or sit in his lap, ffs!
at the risk of repeating myself, photoshopping a cast photo seems incredibly lazy - plus the fact that it looks photoshopped and fake...

I concur nas, PP not wanting to take part in the photo shoot simply because of MH is childish and immature. When you grow up there are going to be times when you have to work with or spend time at work or in college courses with people you don’t like, suck it up and make the best of the situation.
Then again, it would not be the first time PP has acted childlike, that sounds mean, but true.

I think we can all agree on PP being extremely childish the whole Season 15 with her stance on not doing scenes with MH. After all, something happened between MH and MW as well and they still did their scenes together, even if the tension was palpable, but they were pros in that part. At least, they could have come up with something like Gibbs giving Abby a dressing down for whatever reason, to explain why they won't be seen together. (IMO Duane Henry also deserved a better send off than dying for Abby)
As for the S15 photo, parts of it were taken together, at least Rocky, Mark and Maria. DMcC and Perette are clearly photoshopped in later. The S16 photo, Mark and Sean probably were together in that shoot, IIRC in the original image Duane Henry was standing behind Emily. Again DMcC and DR are clearly photoshopped in later.
